Thoughts on the Halo Mega line?
I know that the next Halo game is doomed to fail, but I hope that we at least get some new Mega sets out of it.

Mega's fucking dead. Mattel doesn't even use the "Mega" name for brick toys anymore, look at pic in this post >>11588851

Mega Dead, Mega Cope, Mega Cucks

Can't you at least turn it into a rhyme
If you're schizo obsessed over a dead toyline?

The early waves were absolutely amazing. I'm still trying to hunt down a few of the sets. Genuinely the coolest toys a young Halo fan could have. However, the quality started to decline around when they dropped the "Bloks" from their name. They started focusing too much on figs and the builds thatbwe did get were only focused on the shitty 343 games. And now, when they finally started to ramp back up with the Falcon, Pelican and Floodgate sets they disappear into the void.

I really hope the now Mattel Brick Shop does more sets for the remake. It'd be a real shame if it dies this pathetically.

These were super unpopular in Europe, sadly. I remember begging my mom for the first Warthog but it had to ship from the US. Even now when I try to buy from the secondary market there are no listings in Europe, even though later down the line Mega had decent distribution here. Thankfully the UK is overloaded with them and I can still get sealed boxes of the 2010 vehicles for relatively cheap.

Halo is generally not a thing in europe. I never saw ANY Halo merchandise anywhere here, even at the height of its popularity.

Halo is what got me into Mega,all the way back when the first wave of what was then Halo Wars came out. Brick quality was iffy, particularly with that one turret set with the three figs, would fall apart in a stiff breeze. However, those figs... Lego-sized, full of detail, nice sculpting, great articulation, I was hooked and stayed with the line all the way through, even picking up stuff from CoD, AssCreed and others as they appeared.

As a fan of the Halo universe and its Mega sets I've made my peace with the fact that Microsoft and Mattel have killed them off respectively.

Nice collection! Do you have the ODST Scorpion? My personal white whale heh.

A shame there isn't a bricklink equivalent for Mega. A lot of my old sets are missing pieces and I'd love to restore them without buying an entire set second hand.
